VXVO · Independent software studio · Demonstration Room Nº 01

Software, shipped

VXVO is a one-person studio that designs and builds AI-native products end to end — web, mobile, desktop, and the model layer in between. This page doesn't describe the work. It runs it.

Eight working models on the floor — flip the switch, then scroll.

Power off — models idle.

Working models,
not screenshots.

Eight of the exhibits below run inside this page — hand-written JavaScript, no framework, no build step. The engraved plates say exactly what's real and what's staged. View source: that's the second exhibition.

Exhibit Nº 01 · Live

Pace

AI nutrition coach — photograph a meal, get calories and macros back.

Built for people who actually want to track without the friction of million-row food databases. Pace reads the plate from a photo, then coaches targets, water, steps and weight with a model that understands food. Designed to disappear into the day: the kind of app you open ten times and notice zero times.

Demonstration data — the product reads real photographs with a vision model.

Klaro Academy

Identity, copy and site for an interview-coaching academy.

The brief was warmth without fluff: two-week interview prep for graduates, no jargon, no fear-selling. VXVO built the name's voice, the brass-on-navy identity, every line of copy, and the site itself. The proof isn't the palette — it's the 200-plus early-career people coached through it.

Friendship Flowers

A garden where every friendship is a plant — it blooms when you stay in touch, wilts when you drift.

Runs in your browser, for real — this bloom is hand-drawn SVG; the product grows its garden procedurally.

    Nº 02The studio

    One person who
    ships like a team.

    VXVO takes an idea from a blank repo to production — design, frontend, backend and AI — without the handoffs that slow everything down. Small surfaces, deep care, and a model layer that only shows up where it genuinely earns its keep.

    1. Principle 01

      Ship, then refine.

      Real software in front of real users beats a perfect plan. Production from week one.

    2. Principle 02

      One mind, whole stack.

      Design, frontend, backend and AI decided by the same person — nothing lost in handoff.

    3. Principle 03

      AI where it earns it.

      Models do the work they're genuinely good at. Everything else is solid, boring engineering.

    4. Principle 04

      Small surface, deep care.

      Few screens, considered to the pixel. Restraint is a feature.

    What you can commission

    • Product & interface — first flow to final pixel: design systems, prototypes, polish.
    • Full-stack web — Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, Vercel. Auth, data, RLS — production-ready from the start.
    • AI & ML — OpenAI and Claude integration, local Ollama, vision, calibration, agents.
    • Desktop & mobile — Electron and Capacitor/PWA on iOS and Android. One codebase, native where it counts.
